Design Review Board Process

The design review process has been developed to insure that all new construction, alterations and renovations to existing buildings and major site improvements conform to the guiding principles of Empire Pass, as outlined in the Design Guidelines.

The Design Review Board suggests that Owners and their Consultants carefully review The Design Guidelines and begin the review process as early as possible to allow ample time to obtain required approvals and building permits. Improvements will require the submission of plans, specifications, and the appropriate application fee. Owners are to retain competent assistance from approved Architects, Landscape Architects, Structural Engineers, Civil Engineers, Contractors, or other Consultants as necessary.

The DRB evaluates all development proposals on the basis of the Design Guidelines. Some of the Guidelines are written as broad standards and the interpretation of these standards is at the discretion of the DRB.
